I love soursop almost as much as sapote! Here's a recipe that accompanied a set of Hazel Atlas martini shorts (I obsessively collected HA dot glassware in the capri blue color for years). The recipe was handwritten, so I can't vouch for it's actual provenance (the drink matches the color of the glassware), but I can vouch for it's tastiness. Don't leave the bitters out: they make the drink, but you can add a teaspoon or two of simple syrup if you find the drink too tart. Enjoy!

FYI, if you're not concerened about 'bruising' the gin, you can use a shaker (which should tell you I'm no master mixologist.)

Capri Dot
Serves 2

3/4 cup soursop (guanabana) juice
6 tablespoons gin
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons blue curaçao liqueur
4 dashes of angostura bitters
(2 purple orchids)

Mix ingredients in cocktail pitcher with ice. Stir well (about 30 seconds to chill). Strain into martini glasses, garnish each with orchid and serve.
